Restoring Balance is the Priority (October 21, 2015)

After the Supreme Court’s marriage ruling in June, many Christians understandably began to focus on protecting religious liberty. But that’s not the most fundamental issue.

Instead, it is the restoration of a proper balance of authority between a Supreme Court that has exalted itself above God and the sovereignty of the states under the Tenth Amendment. Christians dare not lose sight of the fact that, in the words of Solomon, the Court has declared straight that which God has made crooked. And Paul in Second Corinthians tells the church to pull down those things that pretend to set themselves against the knowledge of God.

Assaults on religious liberty are coming, but the first priority should be to challenge the legitimacy of the Supreme Court’s ruling. Only if the Court’s asserted authority is restrained will religious liberty really be free.
